Excellent work on articles John - completely impressed. I wish I had the time you do to write. I do hope you join the project and also add the new Mormonism article to [[List of articles about Mormonism]]. Keep up the good work. -[[User:Visorstuff|Visorstuff]] 20:16, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC) |

:Hi guys --- thanks for the welcome and for the words of encouragement! I went to the project and I added myself as a participant.--[[User:John Hamer|John Hamer]] 21:18, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC) |

Welcome and thanks for all the good edits and energy - we could use it. {{Vip|user=Trödel}} 13:44, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC) |

I'd like to welcome you too. Just took a look at what you've been doing the past month, and I think you're exactly what the Latter Day Saint project needs. I was hoping someone would come along and start beefing-up some of the non-CoJCoLDS material. I'm extremely pleased that you are a member of JWH and MHA, and that you're published.

:Thanks guys --- I really appreciate the votes of confidence! I'm continuing to make my rounds and will be fleshing out more articles. :) --[[User:John Hamer|John Hamer]] 03:14, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

Hi John. I'm very impressed by the work you've done recently. One small niggle though: notice that when you move a page, the links to it become get redirected (which only really only bothers pedants like me), but links that were ''already'' redirects break completely: witness for example the link tagged 'Temple Endowment' on the page [[Adamic language]]. (Or the redirection becomes non-automatic, more precisely.) I'll fix these myself as I get the chance, but you should probably be aware, if you're going to be moving a number of pages. (But once again, excellent job.) [[User:Alai|Alai]] 02:48, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

:Good point, Alai! I'm starting to notice more how all these things work and fit together. I've done lots of broad strokes stuff --- now I think I need to go back and clean up some of the little details, like the links and other things like references --- to make things more tidy. --[[User:John Hamer|John Hamer]] 03:00, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

Thanks for you contributions on [[Emma Smith]]'s life. Finally we can say we have a real article on Emma. --[[User:Dbolton|Dbolton]] 02:00, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

==Comment on structure for Leadership callings== |

Hi - I have set up a sample article on [[User:Trödel/Sandbox2|Bishops]] with a little bit of different format and was wondering if I could get some early feedback as to direction. Thx - Jim {{User:Trödel/sig}} 16:19, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

:I replied on your sandbox page. --[[User:John Hamer|John Hamer]] 17:48, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

Thanks - I like the idea of Hierarchy - good word btw, I was unhappy with ecliasiastical structure. I do think there is an argument for not following the Mormonism standard because each church would have a seperate hierarchy - but as I think about it - it is a good place to start and the nature of the hierarchy (being based on the fact that the president of the church is a prophet) brings enough similarity for them to be in one article to start. Thx for your comments {{User:Trödel/sig}} 18:13, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

== tagging your uploaded images == |
|||
Thanks for uploading [[:Image:JS3 nauvoohome.jpg]]. I notice it currently doesn't |
|||
have an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image copyright tag]]. |
|||
Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can |
|||
use <nowiki>{{gfdl}}</nowiki> if you release it under |
|||
the [[GFDL]], or <nowiki>{{fairuse}}</nowiki> if you |
|||
claim [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], etc.) If you don't know |
|||
what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images |
|||
and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, [[User:Squallwc|Squallwc]] 15:57, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

: There are a few choices. "Permission is given for use on Wikipedia only, and does not include third parties" license is what you want I think, but it is General non-free licenses which is not allowed. I suggest you use [[Creative Commons Licenses]] or release it to [[Public Domain]]. The tags is at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image copyright tag]]. Paste the tag of the license you choose to the image page. Or tell me and I apply the license for you. :) [[User:Squallwc|Squallwc]] 05:58, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

:Thanks, Trodel. Still a bit more to do on Book of Mormon witnesses. Poor Hyrum Smith needs a lot of help still! --[[User:John Hamer|John Hamer]] 20:03, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

I am going on vacation to Costa Rice between Feb. 27 and Mar. 13. As a result, I will have fairly limited Internet access. --[[User:John Hamer|John Hamer]] 14:41, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

== Auditorium and Temple == |
|||
In case you don't have these on watchlist, I added information on the pipe organs in each building. Also check out the new links in the Temple article to [[Gyo Obata]] and [[Chambered Nautilus]] shell (the Holmes poem is eerie, no?). I was tempted to put the nautilus pic next to yours except the spiral runs ccw instead of cw. And I think your pics look great. --[[User:Blainster|Blainster]] 00:27, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC) |

Revision as of 00:59, 15 March 2005
Was the main hostage held by Brian Nichols in an apartment complex located in Duluth, Georgia. Nichols had forced his way into her apartment, tied her down and masked her mouth with tape. In an unexpected move, after more than 10 hours of being held hostage, Nichols allowed her to leave her complex upon her claim to visit her daughter nearby. Smith took the opportunity to dial local authorities which summoned the Gwinett County S.W.A.T. team who eventually arrested him upon an uneventful surrender.
